1.10.1: Toolbar Reset Bug After Updating Still Exists

[tokai]

Hi there,

I'm quite sure I reported this multiple times already (like every other update?), just can't find the relevant posts anymore (why isn't there a post history in my profile?), so let's repost!

 

Almost (?) every time I update Affinity Designer to the latest version it resets the toolbar to some strange random spread-out layout that collides with my muscle memory and therefore blocking me from continuing immediately with my work after each update until I sort out again.

It would be nice if it would respect my user configuration and choices. I get it, the new version added some pointless new account button there (which I can't use anyway, because it requires a newer version of the OS). Rather than replacing the user layout it simply could extend it or even better just point out there's new choices for toolbar configuration after the first start (e.g. some assistant popup could show up on first launch telling the user about newly available toolbar buttons, if they are that important).

 

I already made a mental note to screenshot my layout before updating any of the affinity apps each time. But it still takes a lot of time to rearrange the whole UI. I would appreciate this issue to be fixed eventually. Thank you very much.

Note: "before.png" screenshot shows the layout, as I had it in the older version before updating. "after.png" shows it in 1.10.1 after the update.

 

Now one to the other 2 apps. I'm expecting they mess up my config the same way… more work ahead for me…

There is.

1. Click on your name or avatar in any post you've made. That will take you here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/profile/17131-tokai/

2. You should see near the top of the page, but below your name and the group ("Members"), three icons. The one on the right that looks something like a newspaper page will list your posts.

Thanks for the hint.

 

Sadly it doesn't find those posts that way either (yes, I properly expanded the filter ). All my old bug reports aren't listed anymore. I guess they get archived away from time to time to declutter the forum or something. 

On a second try it worked. Beats me! 

 

Here's an older one for reference:

HI @tokai Sorry to hear you are experiencing this. We haven't been able to reproduce this here so it's not an easy one to track down. Sometimes these things can be based on a prerequisite that needs to be present for it to happen.

Could you tell me if you bought your app from the Mac App Store or the Affinity Store and what OS you are using please?
